I can't remember, is there a good collective noun/term for the various instances of Mastodon that are federated together? It feels weird to talk about being "on Mastodon" when not actually using it on the flagship server.

Chronic pain 

Thanks to new (if somewhat odd) treatments, I’m now at over four weeks without migraines and it’s kind of freaking amazing.

My younger cousin is getting married this weekend, which makes me literally the only adult in my family who isn't.

Feeling kinda weird about that.

Being a cute deer online is very nice, I highly recommend it.

Since someone asked earlier, here's the full version of the recent art my icon's from: mothux.tumblr.com/post/1620882

This is definitely my favorite art I've gotten of my deer self. awoo.space/media/aD7bx1cJnbbQp

I would like to know how a single pillbug spontaneously appears in the middle of my hallway at precisely 11 PM every night.

Torn between wanting to write a Mastodon app as an excuse to get back into mobile programming, and trying to convince myself this is somehow a terrible idea.

Hidden in the instructions for the Saturn V Lego are schematics for the Most Absurdly Tall Ice Cream Cone.

Annoying Mastodon Bugs 

Is Mastodon kinda weirdly broken for anyone else right now? Here, the third column doesn't scroll properly (it just extends way down past the Home and Notifications columns). On the flagship instance, my Home timeline doesn't even load anymore.

Happy D'ni New Year, #Mystodon! The original Myst HyperCard stack was created 26 years ago today. 🎉

It's kind of sad that my immediate reaction to getting an extra day off work is excitement at getting to go grocery shopping when the store's empty.

So, I'm assuming we're calling this new color scheme "awoorange", right?

One of my computer science professors back in college was also a part-time beekeeper.

So I guess he must've been really good at working with API-calls. 🐝

(Yes I know wooly mammoths and mastodons are different things, but I wasn't about to let paleontology get in the way of a bad pun.)

So. Would you call people who have accounts both here and on mastodon.social…

awooly mammoths?

Okay, post here too, I guess.

Hello! I go by Brooke, I'm a genderqueer (possibly trans?) software developer from Michigan and general nerd. Also occasionally a deer on the internet.

I'm a Myst nerd (?) and have been getting way too into tabletop games lately. I also do silly/geeky embroidery on occasion. I once worked at NASA and get emotional about space.

I'm also @treehat@mastodon.social, not quite sure how I'll be using this account in addition to that yet.
